Heartscarved |...And Tomorrow We Escape |Tribunal Records (Reissue/Remix)


Release Date January 30th, 2026
Format CD (Deluxe Edition, Limited to 300 copies)
Genre Melodic Metalcore
Country United States

Heartscarved crashed onto the scene during the initial explosion of metallic hardcore at the dawn of the millennium. Operating in the same aggressive underground circuits as Prayer For Cleansing and Undying, they burned their name into the underground with a frantic, heavy attack. They delivered their hostility right when the scene started merging extreme metal riffs with chaotic breakdowns. "...And Tomorrow We Escape" initially dropped in 2001 as a raw documentation of that era. Now, Tribunal Records has resurrected this obscure artifact.

This deluxe edition gives a massive sonic upgrade to the old tracks. Jamie King Audio took the original tapes and completely remixed the primary songs. The guitars and drums smash through the speakers. The riffs in "Flames Of Creation" and "God Complex" rip with a destructive metallic edge. The harsh vocals tear through the noise, backed by relentless percussion. It is an aggressive, straightforward assault. The new mix clears up the old audio limitations, revealing the raw hostility the band possessed back in the day.

Beyond the 2024 remix, this disc packs in the original 2001 audio, newly remastered for the diehards. Listeners get to hear "Subsiding The Floods Of Indifference" just as it sounded decades ago, alongside the tracks from the "Epilogue" EP. Adding songs like "Patrick Bateman" and "Avondale" makes this a comprehensive collection of the band's output. The physical CD comes packed with a sixteen-page booklet, complete with lyrics and a reimagined layout based on the original photography.

"...And Tomorrow We Escape" delivers a ruthless brand of heavy music. The songwriting occasionally trips over its own chaotic ambitions. A few transitions between the blistering thrash riffs and the heavy breakdowns come off as abrupt. These minor structural flaws do not stop the music from pummeling the listener. The aggression keeps the momentum going until the very end. Fans of As Hope Dies, Balmora, Azshara, and Day Of Suffering will devour these vicious tracks.

Score: 7.0
